Hello Fastpitch Fans!

 

I just finished updating the Fastpitch Chronicle/WSN Coaches Honor Roll pages by adding a year to some names and adding a couple of names of coaches who will now be coaching in their second state tournament.  If there are names and numbers that need adding or editing just drop me an e-mail and I'll get at.

 

Things have pretty well wound down statewide now that the state tournament field is set (save for the D-4 Verona Sectional being played later today). I'm going to make an effort to be there for the first round games anyway.

 

I'm trying to figure out where to go from here with this website. It's not really my website so I'm really limited in my thinking but I know there are people out there who really thirst for things to read about this game.

 

I need to start working harder on the book I've started that will be "chock full" of great fastpitch stories from my many years in the game."

 

Jim Turner of Altoona and I share a great state tournament story and he's promised to write up his version of what transpired that day in 1999 during the umpire and coaches meeting at home plate at the Saratoga Complex in Waukesha.

 

I'll also type up a good story from the Poynette Jamboree this past spring. That particular story still has me chuckling every time I put lines on a diamond.

 

I typed up several forever memories last night and sent them off to another great friend who had returned home disappointed after a sectional experience.

 

I'll be in Madison for the state tournament. I'll have my radar guns along, my video camera and my ears will be waiting for the stories that many of you will relate to me. I look forward to that.

 

Have a great day and weekend --- and as always --

 

Keep it Rising!

Bob
